Reviewed By Donna D - Middleton, MA
This restaurant is always crowded. Probably due to low prices. We had grilled cheese but it was small and rather soggy. Needed another slice of cheese and better bread. The ice cream is just $1.20 for a scoop. I’d probably stick to the ice cream only next time. Hectic service. Darling decor — you’ll think it is 1950!

The bldg is in downtown Tuscumbia and was built in 1833, while an Ice Cream parlor was started there in 1906 and was a local landmark. It was renovated in 2001 and serves Ice Cream based desserts as well as a few basic meals.

Here with my husband and kid after a hike. Walk in and the place is empty except for a few girl at the end of the bar eating. We stand there a little lost when one of the girls says hey yall going to need menus or you just getting ice cream? I say I think just ice cream as we settle down on to the bar stools.. one of the ladies says the ice cream flavors are on the board. They all sit there and continue to eat as we wait, finally one comes our way, still putting food in her mouth, and ask what we want. Didn't take long to get our treats after that.. our waffles cones were stale and the ice cream decent.. staff was rude and went right back to sitting down to eat without ever asking if there was anything else we needed. This was about 330 in the afternoon so not at lunch or dinner time. We will not return.

I've heard rave reviews about Ichiban so my family decided to try it out for my birthday. My husband and I shared two Philadelphia Rolls. They tasted okay-very similar to grocery store sushi. The sushi is no where near as good as I Love Sushi's in Madison. I also had the egg drop soup. It was average, as well. Service was subpar. We weren't impressed. Thus, we won't be back anytime soon.
4. Champy's Famous Fried Chicken
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 151 reviews
Champy's tries to give you the feel of the old Mississippi Delta juke joints, while providing the freshest ingredients for all of our scratch-made dishes. All of our chicken is FRESH, never frozen, and is cooked to order! Our catfish is USDA farm-raised right here in the South. All of our sides are made from scratch daily. This may take a little longer, but it's worth the wait! Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

We went to this restaurant for lunch at the recommendation of an employee in one of the visitor centers in town and we are so, so glad that we did.
I had the special of the day which was a boneless fried chicken breast with several sides and it was excellent!
My husband had the chicken salad which is the specialty of the restaurant and he said that it was the best chicken salad that he had ever had. (I took a taste and absolutely agree with him.).
Our server was excellent--friendly, talkative, but superbly efficient.
A gentleman named Johnny came out from the kitchen when things had slowed down a bit and talked with patrons about the area and the local music scene.
What a special lunch--I would go out of my way to return here for a meal!

My family went for a birthday dinner, and the food was divine! For appetizers we had the pork skins, which are unlike any you've ever experienced, and the black eyed pea fritters with delicious sauces. I had the seared chicken plate, and almost slurped the veggies and sauce right off my plate. My husband had the steak frites with chimichuri. I will say that he is from Miami and said it was the best chimichuri sauce he's ever had. The kids devoured their fresh cheeseburgers and fries with homemade ketchup. The cocktails are imaginative and wonderful, and the service was excellent. Overall a fabulous meal!!

Our large group was seated in a private dining room, in a very comfortable long table, yet with plenty of elbow room. The three wait staff were very professaional and competent, and even managed separate checks quite well. Everyone enjoyed their food. In my case, my streak was delicious, preparred just as I asked. And I asked for crispy, dark french fries, and they came just that way!! Delicious.

Reviewed By Brenna B - Ardmore
Just know what your getting into- dirt, plastic cups, cowboy boots and folding tables. The saloon is cool with a tin ceiling. Live music on Saturday night was nice- not too loud. On a Fri/Sat night, plan on 90 min at least, to park, ride down on the truck bed, wait for a table, wait on a waiter, eat and ride the truck back up. Food is really good and the Apple Fritter dessert is HUGE!

Great Southern cooking on a down home restaurant. Service was good and we were warmly greeted even though we came in close to closing time (3 PM on Sunday). Hamburger steak was wonderful with a great savory gravy. Fried cornbread is a must try. Kids menu had several selections with good variety. Save room for the hot fudge cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
